title: [Immunologic characteristics women with recurrent spontaneous abortion of unknown etiology. I. Cellular immune response].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the cellular immune response of women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) of unknown etiology. The study group was consisted of 117 nonpregnant women with RSA and 44 healthy, nonpregnant multigravidas (as a control). The following immunological parameters were analyzed in peripheral blood of two groups of women: percentage of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD3+/HLA-DR+ and CD16+/CD56+ cells, lymphocyte proliferative response to mitogen and allogenic, and chemiluminescence of neutrophils. The results show that nonpregnant women with RSA of unknown etiology differ in some parameters of immune response form controls. The changes of peripherial blood T lymphocytes subpopulation were observed, consisted on lower CD8+ percentage and higher CD4+ to CD8+ T cells ratio, but lymphocytes and neutrophils activity seems to be unchanged. It seems, that among couples experiencing RSA of unknown etiology higher evidence of the same HLA antigents is not observed, when compared with couples of normal fertility.
